Wasted Spark

I've been looking at the wasted spark setup for my R33 gtst. I was just wondering how easy they are to fit and what exactly needs doing to the ignition amplifier. How long do they take to fit. Also do they do anything for performance or is it purely reliability? How much is postage on these? Any help is appreciated guys :D
 
sorry........ been out of the office for a bit...
Do you have a series 1 or 2 R33?
Does yours definitely have the Ignition amplifier mounted on the cam covers near the back of the engine?
Fitting takes an hour or 2, nothing major.
If your ignition system is working perfectly, then there are no real performance gains to be had from this conversion, but if your coils are old and tired, then it'll certainly help.
If you're getting misfires when the turbo comes on boost or a lumpy idle and you don;t have any boost leaks, it's quite likely to be a problem with the coilpacks.
Postage is £8.50 for a courier service.
cheers :)
 
I have a series 1 R33 mate.
I definately have the ignition amplifier at the back of the plug cover.
The reason im interested is because i get missfires at around 6000 rpm so i think my coil packs are on the way out :D
Oh and i looked in the shop and there was nothing to select in the drop down so how would i order them? (need to check my bank first lol)
 
yeah, sounds like the coils to me.
I've adjusted the stock in the shop so the drop down boxes work properly now :thumbs:
 
Winners, i fitted one of these to my Cef before it got nicked so ill be able to help you out if you want, its not hard though, let me know :p

Do you get misfires at 6000rpm regardless of wether you are on boost or not?

As if it happens off boost still then it doesnt sound so much like coilpacks.

I have misfire on boost only at 6000rpm when my car is hot????? What I have to change????

If its doing it on boost when hot, then it sounds like its the coilpack, its if it does it based only on rpm that its more likely to be something else (and could be loads of things, crank sensor for example)
